The epitome of Baltimore nightlife, Ottobar has been getting accolades since its inception in 1997. Once housed in a smaller building on Davis Street, this favorite night spot quickly outgrew its snug location. Ottobar moved to its current digs late in 2001, providing a little more space to get down and boogie. At the new location, you can dance the night away, enjoy live music and take advantage of tons of drink specials in this popular club. Ottobar is equipped to host private parties for up to 100 people as well.
